Promise Theory bridges the worlds of semantics and dynamics to describe interactions between autonomous agencies within a system. It provides a semi-formal language for modelling intent and its outcome, which results in a chemistry for cooperative behaviour. This book is aimed at scientists and engineers. It introduces readers to promises in a practical manner, keeping within the paradigm of `voluntary cooperation'. The book draws on examples from the real world, with a special emphasis on computers and information systems.

Promise Theory bridges the worlds of semantics and dynamics to describe scalable interactions between autonomous agents that form clusters and groups. It provides a broadly developed and semi-formal language, which builds on the mathematics of sets and graphs, and models intent and outcome in an impartial manner. The result is a theory that expresses a `chemistry' of cooperative behaviours for a wide range of systems, emphasizing how each new scale of cooperation leads to new phenomena and new promises.This book is aimed at scientists, philosophers, and engineers. It introduces readers to the key concepts in a practical manner, building on the foundation of voluntary cooperation as a ground state for all interacting systems. The book draws on many examples from the real world, with a particular emphasis on human-computer systems. `Promise Theory offers a methodology for generating certainty on top of uncertain foundations. This book presents the formal foundations of Promise Theory. It lays out the formalisms in a clear, concise, understandable way that makes them accessible to non-mathematicians. If you want to fully understand the conceptual mechanisms that underlie the distributed systems that make up today's "cloud services", you should start with this book.' -- Jeff Sussna, Author of Designing Delivery `[The authors] bring the rigor of theoretical physics to the science of cooperation. The application of this kind of rigor to the social sciences is a tremendous leap forward. [The] pioneering work on developing an algebra of cooperation is an idea whose time has come. A promise is not a guarantee. That said: I promise you that examining this book will stimulate your thinking about cooperation and collaboration at scale. This book covers a lot of ground: promises, impositions, invitations, games, and the peculiar dynamics of authority and authorization. Those looking for a book that applies the lessons of distributed computing to the new and emerging science of cooperation will find what they are looking for here.' -- Daniel Mezick, Author of The Culture Game and Inviting Leadership

Imagine a set of simple principles that could help you to understand how parts combine to become a whole, and how each part sees the whole from its own perspective. If such principles were any good, it shouldn’t matter whether we’re talking about humans on a team, birds in a flock, computers in a datacenter, or cogs in a Swiss watch. A theory of cooperation ought to be pretty universal, so we should be able to apply it both to technology and to the workplace. Such principles are the subject of Promise Theory, and the focus of this insightful book. The goal of Promise Theory is to reveal the behavior of a whole from the sum of its parts, taking the viewpoint of the parts rather than the whole. In other words, it is a bottom-up, constructionist view of the world. Start Thinking in Promises and find out why this discipline works for documenting system behaviors from the bottom-up.

Contract as Promise is a study of the philosophical foundations of contract law in which Professor Fried effectively answers some of the most common assumptions about contract law and strongly proposes a moral basis for it while defending the classical theory of contract. This book provides two purposes regarding the complex legal institution of the contract. The first is the theoretical purpose to demonstrate how contract law can be traced to and is determined by a small number of basic moral principles. At the theory level the author shows that contract law does have an underlying, and unifying structure. The second is a pedagogic purpose to provide for students the underlying structure of contract law. At this level of doctrinal exposition the author shows that structure can be referred to moral principles. Together the two purposes support each other in an effective and comprehensive study of contract law. This second edition retains the original text, and includes a new Preface. It also includes a substantial new essay entitled Contract as Promise in the Light of Subsequent Scholarship--Especially Law and Economics which serves as a retrospective of the work accomplished in the last thirty years, while responding to present and future work in the field.

A survey of the elementary functions of money and its invariant representations, alongside the complementary topic of ownership. The book uses the language of Promise Theory to explain the semantics and lifecycle of money in a concise and semi-formal manner, with the goal of reaching a modern probabilistic view of money and economics as a network, independent of philosophical or political treatments as well as models that build on Game Theory. Relativistic notions like `value' are distinguished carefully from invariant measures of amount to decouple frequently muddled concepts in the popular literature, and money is distinguished from its many inequivalent representations (i.e. proxy technologies). A key strength of this work lies in the way it exposes money as an interconnection network, which has evolved to communicate intentions and decisions between agents in a network, where prices form a language for information channels that we call markets.This book is aimed at economists, philosophers, and engineers. It introduces readers to the concepts in a practical manner, building on the concept of voluntary cooperation. The book draws on many examples from the real world, with a particular emphasis on semi-formal semantics. 'A must read for anyone involved in designing intelligent digital currency.'--Mike Warner (Senior Strategist, San Francisco Federal Reserve)

Software development today is embracing events and streaming data, which optimizes not only how technology interacts but also how businesses integrate with one another to meet customer needs. This phenomenon, called flow, consists of patterns and standards that determine which activity and related data is communicated between parties over the internet. This book explores critical implications of that evolution: What happens when events and data streams help you discover new activity sources to enhance existing businesses or drive new markets? What technologies and architectural patterns can position your company for opportunities enabled by flow? James Urquhart, global field CTO at VMware, guides enterprise architects, software developers, and product managers through the process. Learn the benefits of flow dynamics when businesses, governments, and other institutions integrate via events and data streams Understand the value chain for flow integration through Wardley mapping visualization and promise theory modeling Walk through basic concepts behind today's event-driven systems marketplace Learn how today's integration patterns will influence the real-time events flow in the future Explore why companies should architect and build software today to take advantage of flow in coming years
